Rural settlement extension

02 Dec, 2015

Chiltern Rise, South Oxfordshire

The provision of appropriate considered design is essential for successful work in planning conservation areas within the AONB. At a sensitive edge of settlement site in South Oxfordshire DA co-ordinated the preliminary tree, landscape and phase 1 ecological reports for Lytle Associates architects to inform the illustrated 25 unit residential development. Mature boundary tree retention together with suitable highways access were key issues that informed the planning application.

Special Case Planning – Surrey Hills AONB

09 Feb, 2015

Achieving sustained planning success by making special cases in sensitive locations is a feature of the DA project portfolio. The illustration depicts farmstead replacement development in the Surrey Hills AONB granted detailed approval Spring 2014. Working with WS Planning and Architecture, DA advised on landscape impact adjacent to a Listed Parkland setting providing a detailed strategy and visualisation with Earth Productions.
A landscape management plan was also provided to integrate the proposal. Completion is anticipated autumn 2015.

Work continues in the Green Belt, South Downs National Park (inset photo), Conservation Areas and other constrained areas of the southern UK.

 

Backland Development – Teddington

19 Jan, 2015

DA provided landscape and ecological advice for an unusual residential development at Teddington. On redundant backland space two units are proposed. In order to comply with the strict planning constraints on overlooking and flood risk the design adopts basement living and garden space. Existing brick retaining walls frame the new sunken water features that incorporate grey water recycling. Green roofs and street level tree/ climber planting are also included to enrich biodiversity in this urban environment. Granit architects have co-ordinated the detailed application to LB Richmond on behalf of Petrow Estates.
